Lee County Jobless Rate Optimistic

Lee County’s jobless rate for April was set at 7.0%, which is good news considering the national seasonally adjusted rate is 9.9% and Texas, as a whole, has a seasonally adjusted jobless rate of 8.3%, which is up from 8.2% in March. Unfortunately, we are affected by Milam County’s jobless rate of 10.5%, which is above the state and US levels.
